“tie cea an Award of Merit at the British Gladiolus Society test garden in 
Received an Award of Merit at the Maryland Test Garden in 1941, being the 
only one aside from Rosy Morn, which I am listing in another place, out of over 200 
varieties tested, which received this Award in 1941. 
F Nareeds was first in the 3 spike open class at the Quebec Show, both in 1940 
and 1941. 
Prices $.50 for Large or Medium size. $.30 for Small Bulbs. No Bulblets. 
I have not grown any of these varieties of Mr. Stockton’s myself but have seen 
them in his garden, and I know they are all good. With Mr. Stockton, one of the 
first requisites of a variety is that it be a good grower, and have good growing habits 
in every way. These varieties all will stand up straight and sturdy and withstand a 
lot of wind and they are all good propagators. 
FROM CLAYTON TOBEN OF NEW YORK 
Picardy x New Era) (Large Dec) (Mid-season) Soft melt- 
Paula Ann ee shail rose of a Real clean shade. Opens 5— 5 inch 
blooms with a total of 18 buds. Grows about 4 feet tall and with a straight stem. 
Good propagator. Paula Ann has an appeal entirely out of proportion to the size 
of spike. I think you will like it. The Legion Trial Grounds reported eight 5/4 inch 
blooms open. 
Prices for Large and Medium Size Bulbs $.50. Small $.25. No Bulblets. 
FROM W. H. B. PERRY OF VERMONT 
me x Picardy) x Pic.) (Med. Dec) (Mid-season) Light 
Brownette Saeetat with Neat, ites diffused Picardy feather. 
About the nearest to brown of anything I have seen. 5-6 medium size well placed 
blooms on a medium height spike, with 18 to 20 total buds. Petals are plain but the 
texture makes them appear somewhat ruffled. Good propagator and grower. 
Brownette is different and beautiful. A novelty that you will like. 
Prices $.50 each for Large and Medium Bulbs. $.30 for Small Bulbs. No Bulblets. 

‘! feel as tho | owe you a report on the 3 collections of gladiolus | purchased from 
you this spring. Myself, family and neighbors all enjoyed the beautiful blooms and | could 
not pick out a single one that | thought was more beautiful than the other. Had many in 
the collection that were over 5 feet high and many of the blooms were 6 inches and over. 
| did not use fertilizer of any kind. Jesse Daniels, Wis.
